Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Maybe it's strange to say "I love this cemetery" ...but I really do. As far as cemetery's go, it's one of the most well-kept out there and the staff that run this cemetery are extremely compassionate and very accommodating. I chose this cemetery for my parents and it's really a charming and beautiful location. When my father's ashes were ready for me to pick up, they allowed me to keep his ashes for a few weeks on a center counter in their secure office until burial and they prayed over his ashes each morning next to a lit candle until then. Wow! That made me feel good. I love sitting in their little benches spread out under Oak trees that look very stately. The cemetery has an extremely positive vibe and the cemetery spaces are very well kept. The cemetery is mostly Catholic to my knowledge (as my parents are) and they also accept all kinds of people from all walks of life. Thus, it's an accepting cemetery that demonstrates compassion for everyone. I feel great having my parents at this cemetery knowing the staff over time will take really great care of their plot for hundreds of years into the future. Karmin Meade is an excellent cemetery director and she will work with you to ensure that you are happy. Their plot and marker prices are also quite affordable. If you are thinking about a plot here for yourself or for your loved ones, I would look no further than Holy Cross Cemetery. I'm really happy about my decision to bury my parents here and my 5-star rating of this cemetery, as it is well deserved.”

“I purchased our cemetery lots in advance. I suggest purchasing a marker and/or headstone in advance as well as paying the opening and closing fees. You want to deal with these expenses with a clear mind, not while you are grieving for your loved one. I appreciate the efforts of the funeral home and the cemetery staff.”
